(Hey, baby)
You've really got my tail in a spin
(Hey, baby)
I don't even know where to begin
But, baby, I got
One thing I want you to know
Wherever you go tell me 'cause I'm gonna go

We found love, oh
So don't fight it
Life is a rollercoaster
Just gotta ride it
I need you, ooh
So stop hiding
Our love is a mystery
Girl, let's get inside it

(Hey, baby)
You've really got me flying tonight (flying tonight)
(Hey, sugar, ooh, ooh)
You almost got us punched in a fight
(That's all right)
But, baby you know
The one thing I gotta know (know, know)
Wherever you go tell me 'cause I'm gonna show

We found love
So don't fight it
Life is a rollercoaster




Just gotta ride it
I need you, ooh
So stop hiding
Our love is a mystery
Girl, let's get inside it

Listen
Can't you feel my heart (feel my heart)
Can't you feel my heart (feel my heart)
Can't you take my heart

We found love
So don't fight it
Life is a rollercoaster
Just gotta ride it
I need you, ooh
So stop hiding
Our love is a mystery
Girl, let's get inside it

Don't fight it, fight it, fight it

Love is a mystery girl
Let's get inside it
